Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Telč is a town in southern Moravia, near Jihlava in the Czech Republic, that was founded in the thirteenth century as a royal water fort on the crossroads of busy merchant routes between Bohemia, Moravia and Austria.

The Gothic castle was built in the second half of the fourteenth century and at the end of the fifteenth century the castle fortifications were strengthened and a new gate-tower built. In the middle of the sixtteenth century the medieval castle no longer satisfied Renaissance nobleman Zachariáš of Hradec, who had the castle altered in the Renaissance style. Besides the monumental Renaissance chateau, the most significant sight is the town square, a unique complex of long urban plaza with well-conserved Renaissance and Baroque houses boasting high gables and arcades - since 1992 all of this has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The column of the Virgin Mary and the fountain in the centre of the square date from the eighteenth century.

The Scotch Mist Gallery contains many photographs of historic buildings, monuments and memorials of Poland and beyond.
